Micralyne is about to introduce the next generation of MEMS technology platform for miniaturized low-power gas sensors

According to Memes Consulting, the leading microelectromechanical system (MEMS) and sensor foundry Micralyne recently demonstrated the MEMS technology platform for developing next-generation gas sensors at the "MEMS Sensing and Network Systems Exhibition" in Japan - Standard Silicon process technology and process modules. The new platform extends Micralyne's existing standard MEMS modules and provides designers with a solution for the miniaturized, low-power gas detection architecture required to achieve the current gas sensor target market.

Metal oxide gas sensor with integrated micro heating plate, chip size is 1.6mm x 1.6mm

Metal oxide gas sensor components The gas sensor market is undergoing tremendous changes, mainly driven by a large number of consumer categories, such as smart homes and wearable devices used in the Internet of Things to achieve ambient air quality monitoring. Existing gas detection technologies are experiencing new technical challenges such as significant cost reductions, low power, increased selectivity, different types of gas detection, and wide operating temperatures. “Micralyne has seen the growing demand for small gas sensors from customers in the Asia Pacific region. In order to accelerate the customer's product design, we have developed a standard process that can quickly achieve mass production of gas sensors, thanks to our gas sensing. Extensive experience in structure and more than a decade of experience in mass production of thin film flow sensors.” Collin Twanow, vice president of technology at Micralyne, said, “We are pleased to be able to showcase the MEMS technology platform with Japanese partner Adamant.” Micralyne's MEMS technology platform Provides a modular approach to MEMS design and rapid product prototyping through semi-custom equipment, acceleration mass production progress, without sacrificing product quality and consistency. Micralyne has been offering standard process and MEMS modules since 2006, working to reduce MEMS R&D costs and shorten time-to-market for MEMS products.
